For the first time in a few matches, the Lady Patriots match did not go to five sets, but the four sets certainly felt like it, with East prevailing against a spirited squad from Souderton (31-29, 24-26, 26-24, 25-17). There was no shortage of impact players from East, starting with the setters (Jillian Walworth (21 assists, 10 digs, 2 service aces) and Sadie Jones (10 assists and 2 digs). Sadie's performance was noteworthy since she was asked to come in as an emergency setter after the first set due to an injury to starter Mia Mettille, and she confidently handled that pressure packed situation. On the other end of those sets were the middle "twin towers" of Ali Minacci (8 kills and 6 blocks) and Reese Coxey (7 kills and 4 blocks) and the senior outside hitters of Sophia Schwartz (12 kills and 6 digs) and Regina Mathur (10 kills, 18 digs and 3 service aces). Summer Darling (6 kills and 3 digs) had her best match of season, Carmyn O'Brien (11 digs, 2 kills, 1 service ace) demonstrated her agility by playing two different roles (DS and RS hitter), and the updated law firm of Haridas and Zmuda anchored the defense (Arya Haridas finished with 30 digs, 3 assists and 2 service aces and Abi Zmuda, fresh off the injured reserve list, chipped in 17 digs and 4 service aces).
